Default Thinking of buying a new boat

Just acquired some lakefront property on Lake Livingston (in TEXAS - where else). It might be time to move up now from my 13' whaler that has served me well.I've been looking at Sea Hunt Boats, mainly the escape 186 with the Yami 115 4-stroke.anyone have any information on if Sea Hunt is a decent boat.Don't need the best as it will be garage kept and I don't have a fortune to spend on another whaler.Thanks

kelt,that sea hunt 18 6 center console was my second choice I did purchase the 18 ft cc sea pro with the 90 yam,so far I can't say anything bad about the sea pro handles well the 90 yam wot 5300 rpm and speed about 39 mph.I think the sea hunt had a 10 year warranty to the original owner only @ the price difference was about $2000.00

Kelton:Just so you have another opinion (even if it is worthless!)..........My stepdad did A TON of research and also bought a SeaPro CC (but the 19 footer) w/ a Yamaha 115 4-stroke and he swears it is the best boat he's ever had. I must admit, I also think it's awfully sweet..........
